Ruslan's face flushed with a mix of frustration and anger as he tried to assert his "claim" on Alisa. His hand flexed, as if ready to take some form of action, but Howard's stance remained immovable, his eyes cold and focused on Ruslan's every move.
"You're really going to stand there and tell me that I can't see my girlfriend?" Ruslan's voice rose, dripping with entitlement. His words were laced with venom as if the very idea of being denied access to Alisa was an affront to his supposed superiority.
"Do you even know who I am? I'm Ruslan Dario the future husband of Alisa Reinhardt. She'll be begging for me to come inside any minute now."
Despite Ruslan becoming even more aggressive and even some of his spit was flying towards him, Howard did not move an inch. He would not harm a civilian as long as the civilian did not attack.
